be made with the nicely and precision that mark
such affairs which to continue for weeks or
months, but our Timonum grounds the build
ings are ample for their purpose, well designed
and located, the grounds themselves being admir-
ably arranged for the ends to which they are died.
icated and are everywhere so recognized Visitors
should come in the right frame of mind, deter
mined to enjoy what is agreeable and pleasant
not with that iberal disposition which only seeks
opportunity for expressing discomfort and disap
pointment. Exhibitors should feel that having
done their best it is no fault of theirs if they
defeated. All cannot be first, but lesson
may be learned of better methods, more skill,
neater displays, which will make them first next
year. 1t is in this very thing that the profitable
application of these displays is found. If every
exhibitor will bring the best he or she has, the
result will be grand combination which will do
honor to our county and our people.
Let the Society then have the cooperation, the
hearty good will and the earnest efforts on its
behalf Of the whole people of the county and such
an exhibition will be the result as was never wit
messed before within our borders.
Our people come together on the Timonium
grounds for relaxation from labor for social en-
joyment and the indulgence in innocent amuse-
ments. Every day will offer new attractions /;
and in this view, aside from its educational fea-
lures, it deserves and demands the countenance,
support and active aid of our men and women,
wherever located and however employed.
1t should be remembered that the managers
and officers of Agricultural Society cannot
make fair of themselves. That depends upon
the people of the county. Every citizen should
feel that the credit of our community depends in
some degree upon his or her individual effort, and
act accordingly. Each farmer each manufacturer
and artisan, each woman almost, we might say,
each youth can do something to add to the attrac-
ton, the volume and the interest of the exhibits
in the numerous departments of the fair.
Hyde's Great Esta blishment-Poor z. R.
Accommodations correspondent of the
Hartford Democrat lately paid visit to Hydes
Station, Maryland Central Railroad, and made an
inspection Of Col. S. N. Hyde's canning establish
ment He says: "He commenced this years
pack last Wednesday, the 10th inst. He is work
ing some 100 hands this includes field hands and
all. He is packing about $4,000 cans daily, but
has capacity for 10000. His boiler is of 60 horse
power, is worked on So lbs. steam, with capacity
of 200 lbs. There three process kettles that
process Clio cans each, or $3.50 cans at each pro-
cessing The chief engineer is Mr.. A. c. Sweet,
of Annapolis, with Mr.. W. A. Kuhn assistant.
Mr.. Fred. Miller is chief professor. Mr.. Vincent
Gross is capper, with two assistants. Mr.. Stewart
Famous, and one assistant are the tippers. The
corn is cut from the cob by hand, and there are Is
females who perform this part of the work. Mr..
Hyde informs me that he has several cutters who
make So 90 per day at cts. per half bucket. 1t
is astonishing with what dexterity they use their
knives and how quick they can cut an ear of corn
They make ii cuts at every ear, cutting but one
row of grains at time. These women cutters,
and the other hands who pack weigh and do the
rest of the work in preparing the cans for the cap
pers, have long white clean aprons to put on every
morning, and stranger can't help but notice the
cleanliness of the entire establishment and all its
surroundings. Mr.. Hyde has 24O acres of the best
corn that he has raised, which he says is the
outcome of an excellent season, and he expects to
pack from II, 900 to II, 600 cases.
"The next thing worthy of mention is our rail
road, at least the inducements they hold out to
their patrons and the public in general. There is
to be heard every side at all the stations on the
road a general murmur of complaint at the bad
arrangement. At this station there is real indig-
nation. As sample of things to be complained
of, will mention that on last Sunday night, when
the train going south, due here at O'clock there
were some thirty more passengers awaiting its
arrival, the larger number being ladies, and there
was no light on the platform and none in the wait
ing room of the station, and but one lantern with
a very meagre supply of oil to light the entire
place. To add to the comfort and pleasure of
those in waiting there were but four chairs to
commodate the crowd. When asked about it, the
agent informed your correspondent that the COM
pany had not furnished any of these necessaTies
and that he even had to buy the oil that he used
in the lantern to signal night trains. This is one
of the complaints that needs immediate remedy
ing. We hope Mr.. Masin may have his attention
called to this, and that he will make the necessary
repairs for this worry to the travelling public in
general and the patrons of the road in particular"

Great Af1iction.-We copy the following
items from The Manchester Carroll county, En-
terprise of 18th instant 1rvin, son of Mr.. Oscar
Buckingham, visiting Manchester with his
parents, is terribly afflicted. A short time ago
be was sent from his home in Woodbury. with
dinner for his father, who employed in
other part Of that busy town. Enroute the lad
crossed pasture field where cattle were grazing,
when steer made for the boy, believing and
paving furiously. The lad saw the beast, and
dropping his bucket ran to and climbed tree
near by. But the beast attacked the tree and for
several hours continued to prod and butt it, and
kept the boy prisoner in it until late in the
evening, before he could safely descend. Since
then the lad is terribly afflicted, shaking and
jerking and striking involuntary and continually,
almost bereft of speech and apparently continu-
ally suffering from nervous prostration and pain
save when asleep when his faculties also appear
calm and resting. DR.. Preston is attending the
sufferer and hopes are entertained that he will re-
cover"
